I took it to the dealer which they found one of the keepers on the valve was out of clearance and had to replace it. So I had it replaced and they said they ran the engine and there was noise coming from the other side to which they checked the clearances and then adjusted the valves.

Upon return of the vehicle they told me what it was and they fixed it. However, from their fix I now have a noise coming from the driver side which is almost as loud as the tapping before. The noise does not go away after the engine is warm. I am a little concerned about what the problem is so anybody out there let me know if you have any fixes????????

Lets "attempt" to rule out that you have a leak in the manifold that is causing the tick...
I would bet the sound you are hearing is a TORN Stearing Boot!
Check the forum for this topic.. I am too lazy to post the link (sorry)
My Seq had a Drivers Side tick that got louder and would not go away after it was warmed up.
Turns out the steering boot was torn.
Its a quick cheap easy fix you can do yourself too...
I was amazed at how much engine noise came into the cabin because of the small hole.
